Cam Lobe and lifter face spray bar?
Who got the sandpaper after them cylinders? lol
He likes lubin it up that's for sure. lol
Naw, they already did that to your cylinders. LOL
Not to sound dumb but what is the advantage over direct lube lifters?
Is that an aluminum pipe? Aren't you afraid that it might break due to vibration?
Thanks for the vote of confidence.

It is certainly not a dumb question.
This engine will spend the vast majority of it's life under 2000 rpm, hours at a time idling at various angles. Cody wanted to keep the lifters and the cam well lubed and came up with this solution. We discussed other options of lifters and lifter bore work and even if was it really even needed.
In the end this is what he personally wanted to do.
I couldn't (he's a strong willed man) and wasn't going deny him the opportunity to try his idea. Working together we came up with and built this system. He has experimented with different oils and pressures in test bench trials and when we pre-lube the engine without the intake manifold we'll have further information on how well it may work.
The tubing is 3/8 steel you can buy at any NAPA store.
What oil is he planning to run?

What is the engine going into?
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Why not just put full time oiling to the top end , would run down on the lifters , and cool the valve springs too--------???
Done already explained that Famous Guy................
It is NOT what my boy wanted to do!

I know I'm right....
The prelube and dyno sessions will make that determination. We will heat the oil and the engine before the prelube and see what pressures we get at that time. If they are good it goes to the dyno where we'll double check.

Discussed already!
Not what my boy wanted to do!
Plus I haven't found hydraulic EDM lifters in the past.
And still, if they do exist.........not what he wants to do. He wants his spray bar.
Laser, laser, wherefore art thou laser?
pishta
I know I'm right....
IDK if you can even do hydraulic EDM lifters as the oil supply must come from the high pressure band area and bypass the internal check valve area, not the piston area or else the hydro lifter will collapse! Not sure why anyone runs a hydro cam anyway but thats your boys choice too. Go for it. I devised a spray bar for the valve covers too along the same lines. Oil everywhere! I wonder if your passenger side lifters are going to benefit from this as much as the driver side?
Hydro cam is perfect for an engine spending it's life at 2000 rpm and below.
Who needs the clacking when crawling up the mountain. lol
That's the plan..............as mentioned in post #12.

Two atmospheres are better than one
I read that as you’ve pre lubed engines before with the intake off.....
Sorry back to you’re regular scheduled programming.
Thanks
